RR Watch - Ann Corcoran: UKIP’s Nigel Farage to speak at Conservative confab in Washington - "If you are unable to reclaim your party, you might have to do a UKIP."


UKIP’s Nigel Farage to speak at Conservative confab in Washington
I might have to break down and attend CPAC this year, something I haven’t done since Grover Norquist and his sycophants managed to sideline several outspoken critics of the Islamic agenda in the US—an Islamic agenda that depends heavily on the migration of Muslims to America.
Nigel Farage leads the largest UK party in the European Parliament.
And, why do we write so much about Europe’s death spiral?—so that you know what is in store for us if we don’t fight back now!
I expect Mr. Farage will have a warning for us.  For more on UKIP go here.
Here is the story at Breitbart (hat tip: Cathy) about his CPAC appearance, but it was these last two paragraphs I found most interesting:
In a recent interview with Breitbart News on a trip to the United States this past fall, Farage said that U.S. conservatives seem to be going through the exact same problems with the political establishment—especially on the key issues UKIP is winning on in the U.K., including immigration and national security. Farage also said that if the GOP establishment in the United States doesn’t back down and let conservatives control the direction of the party, there may be a need for a U.S. version of UKIP to send the Republican National Committee (RNC) the way of the Whigs.
“I have no idea what the Republican Party stands for,” Farage said in the interview at the Breitbart News Capitol Hill headquarters in Washington, D.C. “I meet lots of individuals within it who want it to say one thing or another, but collectively it’s pretty blurry, it’s pretty unclear. If I was living over here, I would say to myself alright number one we’ve got to reclaim our party–we’ve got to take it away from being safe and establishment, because that way you’re never going to win because the Democrats have certain built-in advantages. If you are unable to reclaim your party, you might have to do a UKIP.”
Conservatives will never reclaim the party when the likes of Grover Norquist and Jeb Bush are prominent mouthpieces for it.
